I am glad the trip went well and that you are happy with the stand that started this thread. I was pretty sure that giant duffle was a bit too big.
I am clueless on your medical issues, do not understand the lingo at all. And I hope that I can stay totally ignorant on that, as I have my own set of med issues and do not need any more.
If you have to climb hills slowly to protect your heart, does your bike have low enough gearing? My light and my medium touring bikes have triple cranks with 24T chainrings for granny gears, 32 is my biggest rear sprocket, both bikes have identical drivetrains. That said, my heavy touring bike is in the photos in posts 10 and 30, that is a Rohloff bike.
